Abstract
A non-uniqueness study for a hydromechanical boundary value problem is performed. A fully saturated porous medium is considered using an elasto-plastic constitutive equations to describe the mechanical behavior of the skeleton. A real hydromechanical experiment which consists in a hollow cylinder test on a Boom Clay sample is modelled. It is shown that the time step discretisation of the numerical problem has an effect on the initialisation of the Newton-Raphson algorithm on a given time step. Different solutions for the same initial boundary value problem can consequently be found.
